Maintaining the strong pedagogy, abundant student-friendly examples, and engaging
conversational style of the previous editions, the sixth edition of this introductory textbook …

Background Color and motion serve as the prime examples of segregated processing in the
visual brain, giving rise to the question how color-motion conjunctions are represented. This …

Crowding occurs when nearby flankers jumble the appearance of a target object, making it
hard to identify. Crowding is feature integration over an inappropriately large region. What …

In the visual system, early atomized representations are grouped into higher-level entities
through processes of perceptual organization. Here we present neurophysiological …

Colour conveys specific information about the status/quality of an object; whereas its role in
object recognition has been widely studied, little is known about its role in sensorimotor …

Although mental representations are a primary component of cognition, little is known about
the mechanism which connects a mental representation to a perceived object. To date, the …

A fundamental challenge for the visual system is to integrate visual features into a coherent
scene, known as the binding problem. The neural mechanisms of feature binding are hard to …

Visual feature binding has been suggested to depend on reentrant processing. We
addressed the relationship between binding, reentry, and visual awareness by asking the …

We tested contrasting predictions derived from perceptual load theory and from recent
feature-based selection accounts. Observers viewed moving, colored stimuli and performed …

We investigated the role of attention in pairing superimposed visual features. When moving
dots alternate in color and in motion direction, reports of the perceived color and motion …
